Enrique’s Hermano Has ‘Gone Country’

Holy Jesús María! Latinos singing country!? No way José! But yes chicos y chicas, you’ve read it right. We were super surprised that Julio Iglesias, Jr., Enrique Iglesias’ big hermano, won CMT’s reality show Gone Country. Who would think that a gringo country producer would pick one of our own to change the look of country? But guys, tu sabes, Latinos can make anything look cool, even something as corny as country. Eek! Can you imagine Latino kids wearing cowboy boots and hats out in public? Where would you find that? (Ahem Texas!). We’ll keep an eye on Julio Jr. and see how he does with this mainly Anglo-dominated music audience. We already bought our cowboy get-ups to show our support! Check Julio’s winning song, I Want You, and tell us what you think. [Billboard.com]
